 Succinca oralis, var., Anthony, Shells of Ohio (1843), No. 45, no descr. 



A species of the Interior Rej^ion, but restricted as far as yet known ««''<«, 



to Ohio. 



Animal not observed. 



This small species is about the size of S. avara, but it is less ventricose in 

 form, and of a more vitreous structure, and more yellow cast of color. The 

 aperture, especially, is far less rounded ; indeed, it is more narrow than in any- 

 other American species. 



Succinea Groenlandica, Beck.

Greenland and Iceland, and perhaps Denmark (Morch., 1. c). I must treat 

 it as one of the circumpolar species of the Northern Region. 



Animal not observed. 



This species is easily distinguished by its bulbous, turreted spire, and by its 

 light horn-color, broken by longitudinal white vittae. When the epidermis is 

 removed, the shell is of a dead white. The specimen figured is in Mr. Bland's 

 collection. 



The jaw is said by Morch to have lateral denticles as in S. amphibia, 



Succinea obliqua. Say.
